Ive basically just been working since the last time i wrote anything about anything. Well that and playing stupid video games, but those are needed for the brain, otherwise we throw things. I dont really throw things but you can feel that way sometimes.

The new plan for the camera and mic outside is going to work i think. The camcorder goes outside, point at the fire. Composite to HDMI adapter power and camera connected to the power strip behind the bench. The mic connected with the extra long xlr cable to the interface in the house on the mixing table, i'll use my laptop for chat. Then i'll use the normal webcam on the tripod to the usb extension for myself, and stick that in the corner. 

It sounds like a good plan, and everything works, sort of. But i wont have direct control over my OBS so that'll be interesting. If i can get the USB hub connected with the camera I can use the macro keys outside at least. I think. But every time i use a 2k camera on a USB hub it always causes problems.Could be a shitty USB hub though, it is a little older now since i got most of that stuff when i put my desk together in 2020. gees. Maybe i should get a new one. 

I'm trying a new flavour of linux on my netbook now, AntiX. It's really lightweight and quick, which is all i need for this thing. It's going to run chat through IRC for twitch, read comics, and maybe write blog posts when i think about it. Thats just about all it has to do and for what its got thats probably more than enough. 

Boops takes her driving test on monday, that'll be interesting. I know she'll do fine, but what comes after that is what is making me anxious. Her brother did fine, and she will do fine. It'll be fine, i just have to trust it. 

 There isnt really much to say or talk about other than the plans for the party outside. The weather here is starting to get really nice for sitting around on the porch because it's a reasonable temp outside for longer now. Good weather for a fire too, which is perfect really. 

I do have to start making cookies soon. It's cooled down i've just been really lazy. Shit and I have to find a friend of mine some South Park. 

What anime have I been watching lately. A Couple of Cuckoos, Sakamoto Days, Solo Camping for Two, and Summer Pockets. All of them have been pretty fun, Cuckoos is pretty middle of the road for what it is, but it's got me suckered in. I almost fell back into watching Dress Up Darling or whatever its called, but I know how that one goes.I havent really found what I'll be watching next season yet, but maybe I'll mention them here and if I think about it write out what I think about them. Could have done that this time but I'm just poppin in to leave a note, you know?

This weekend should be fun. Today is a lazy day but the rest of the time I'msure we'll be going to parks and cemetaries and stuff. I've thought about posting some pictures here in the updates just for fun, but i tend to only look for the stones that look like tree stumps.
